Yarmouth, Maine, regarding the ancestry of my great grandfather, Joseph
G. Mansfield, I received a response from Katherine P. Tinker. She cited no
sources. In that letter she wrote:
..."Stephen was born 1783 the son of Job and Mary (Hook) Bennett." She
does not identify Job's parents in the narative, but on the hand-drawn
chart that she attached, Stephen is shown as the son of Job Bennet and
Mary Harridan. Job is then shown as the son of another Stephen Bennett
and his wife, Mary Hook. It appears that Mrs. Tinker had confused Mary
Harridan and Mary Hook.
